The next moment, she saw a heart-shaped bubble light up above the ostrich … no, Sun Xiang's head.

Next to his name was a pink initial favorability number.

— Judging from the game's progress so far, this was actually the one with the lowest initial favorability.

Just this point alone was enough to attract Shang Rong's attention.

She wasn't a girl who was so competitive that she would think 'why is his favorability so low' or 'why doesn't he like me'. But because she liked to challenge difficult problems, she thought that Sun Xiang would be her main target in the near future!

Thus, her interest in Sun Xiang soared and she was already planning how to attract his attention.

Before the series of plans in her mind could be implemented, the young man sitting next to her had already pulled off the blanket covering his head in frustration. He told her as if he had given up on himself, "Alright, I'm Sun Xiang!

What's wrong?

Do you want an autograph?

Or a group photo? "

"I don't want an autograph or a group photo." Shang Rong couldn't help but laugh. She could roughly guess that he was a hot celebrity.

"I just want to look at you, that's all."

"…" Sun Xiang was stunned for two seconds before his face flushed red and he stuttered, "W-what are you talking about?

Y-you saw me, didn't you? "

"But, this might be the only chance to see you up close."

Shang Rong interrupted him with a smile, calmly sizing him up with her chestnut eyes that seemed to have melted with starlight.

"… So, can you let me look at you more?"

Sun Xiang clearly didn't expect such an answer from her. He choked and his expression became even more uncomfortable. Yet, he refused to show weakness and glared at her with a 'I'm especially fierce, are you afraid' expression. "Then, are you done looking at me now?"

Shang Rong's eyes quickly swept over his red ears. She was even more certain that he was guilty and nervous. She smiled and looked straight into his eyes. She said softly, "You're so handsome. How can I have enough of looking at you?"

Indeed, Sun Xiang was born with a good appearance that stood out among ordinary people. Although he wasn't her type, handsome guys were always pleasing to the eyes.

Sun Xiang's expression froze, remaining silent for two seconds as though he was dumbfounded. Only when the favorability value above his head jumped to the top did he come back to his senses and averted his eyes, saying awkwardly, "Of course I know!"

Shang Rong had a rough idea of his temper. Just as she was about to go along with his proud but awkward personality to comfort him, she saw him shake his head and said impatiently, "I don't want to talk to you anymore!

I want to sleep! "

After saying this, he turned to look at her again, his eyes full of threat. "Don't disturb me!

Don't talk to me again! "He thought for a moment before adding in a panic," … And don't stare at me! "

Knowing that going too far was as bad as falling short, Shang Rong wasn't in a hurry to continue even though she felt that it was a pity to miss a good opportunity. She just thought of her next plan and asked casually, "Are you going to H City too?"

"Of course!"

Sun Xiang answered without thinking. Only after he finished speaking did he realize that he had answered her again. His dejected expression was obvious.

"… I already said don't talk to me!"

"Oh, okay." Shang Rong didn't mind his rude attitude and accepted it.

"Whatever you say."

"You …" Sun Xiang couldn't take her thoughtfulness and was at a loss for words for a moment. He pouted and laid back on the chair, pulling up the blanket and closing his eyes.

Shang Rong saw this and was about to activate the system to read Fang Shiqian's memories when he sat up again. "Wait, what's your name?"

Shang Rong blinked and looked back at him with a puzzled gaze.

Sun Xiang seemed to have thought of something and his face turned red again. He quickly emphasized, "Don't think too much!

You know my name, but I don't know yours. That's not fair! "

Looking at his expression, Shang Rong nodded in understanding. "My name is Shang Rong.

The Shang from Xia, Shang, and Zhou, and the melting of ice and snow. "

"… Xia, Shang, and Zhou?" Sun Xiang repeated. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and he seemed to be confused.

She thought that her self-introduction was full of personal characteristics, so he probably couldn't react in time. Shang Rong took his hand and started to write on his right palm with her fingertips.

"You, you, you, you wait!" Sun Xiang shouted in panic after a short moment of stiffening.

"I, I know!

You don't have to write anymore! "

Although he said that and his expression was fierce resistance, he didn't try to pull his hand back at all.

"Do you understand?" Shang Rong was still holding his hand and looked up at him with a smile.

Next, she discovered that Sun Xiang's favorability rating had jumped to (72).

This made her a little interested. Not only did she not loosen her grip on his left hand, she even raised her right hand and touched his fingertips with her soft and delicate fingers.

His fingers were a little calloused, dry and slender.

With her touch, it seemed to tremble slightly.

Shang Rong was slightly satisfied with this reaction and couldn't help but look up at Sun Xiang's expression.

His face was flushed once more, his eyes darting left and right, refusing to look at her. Because of this contact, the favorability rating above his head had risen to.

Shang Rong blinked her eyes. Seeing that he had no intention of breaking free, Shang Rong tentatively touched his knuckles.

This time, his favorability rating became.

— Is this also a very gratifying change?

As Shang Rong thought about it, she looked at Sun Xiang again. She saw that the young man was staring at her in a daze.

As if he finally realized that her continuous harassment had stopped, Sun Xiang also came back to his senses. He was so panicked that he was almost plastered to the back of the sofa. He stuttered and asked her, "You, have you touched enough?!"

He looked like he was about to cry.

Shang Rong blinked and reluctantly let him off, retracting her hand and looking at him sincerely. "Sorry, was I too much?

I just think your hand looks good. "

"Ah?" When Sun Xiang heard this, it was as if he had done something wrong. He awkwardly and stiffly waved his hands.

"I'm not blaming you!

Why are you apologizing … "

"Is that so? That's great." Shang Rong let out a sigh of relief, tilting her head and smiling at him.

"You must be tired, right?

Go to sleep, I won't disturb you this time. "

Sun Xiang pursed his lips suspiciously and reluctantly but didn't say much. Instead, he leaned against the back of the chair obediently and closed his eyes quietly.

Shang Rong didn't continue to pay attention to him. She laid down with her eyes closed and asked the system, "Please help me activate memories related to Fang Shiqian."

[Fang Shiqian SR Bond [His Heart] related memories activated!]

The system responded immediately.

[Entering memory kill, please be prepared.

Three, two, one …]

The next moment, what appeared before Shang Rong's eyes was the memory of her breakup with Fang Shiqian in the game world of "Love and Glory All-Stars".

This memory seemed to have started in a coffee shop. The shop was decorated in an antique European style and the air was filled with the bitter aroma of coffee.

The girl's silky chestnut hair draped over her shoulders as she sat at the table, elegantly eating a small plate of cake with a crystal fork.

Fang Shiqian sat opposite her, quietly and attentively watching her every move.

"Today is the day you won the championship, but I ate the cake for the celebration." The girl looked up, holding the fork with the tip of her tongue as she smiled at him.

"How can I make it up to you?"

"You were with me when I won the championship, why would I need any compensation?" Fang Shiqian laughed, but even when he laughed, there was still a hint of sadness between his brows.

Shang Rong noticed this subtle emotion and asked him with concern, "Shiqian, are you not happy?"

"I'm happy." Fang Shiqian replied as if nothing had happened and smiled at her reassuringly.

Shang Rong did not believe him and stared at him worriedly.

"Rongrong, do you like me?" Fang Shiqian could not stand her stare. He lowered his eyes slightly and asked her with a smile.

His tone was casual, but the smile on his lips was stiff.

Shang Rong blinked and replied in a soft and sweet voice, "I like you, I like you very much."

Fang Shiqian was stunned. After a long time, he looked at the pair of chestnut eyes that were close to him and sighed, "Rongrong, I've decided to retire."

Shang Rong's eyes widened in surprise. She was confused and puzzled, "Shiqian, you …"

"Microcao has already reached the peak. The current captain is Jiexi, and he is fully capable of shouldering the future of Microcao," Fang Shiqian explained with a wry smile.

"I have no regrets in my career, and there is no need to persist and continue to watch my condition decline and go downhill."

Shang Rong looked at him silently and quickly nodded, "I understand, I support your decision."

"As expected of Rongrong, you are still so considerate."

Fang Shiqian caressed her cheeks lovingly. Then, as if he had made up his mind, he looked directly into her eyes.

"Actually, I have a suggestion."

Shang Rong understood what he meant. She remained silent and looked at him with a gentle gaze.

"Let's break up for a while."

Fang Shiqian seemed to have made his decision long ago. When he said these words, his expression was calm and his tone was steady.

"But don't misunderstand, I still like you."

"Then, why do you want to break up when you like me?" Shang Rong couldn't understand such a choice and was confused.

"Maybe it's because …" Fang Shiqian hesitated for a moment and then chuckled.

"I like you too much."

Shang Rong became more and more confused. She widened her eyes slightly and tried to find clues from his expression.

"Silly Rongrong, you are still too young. Even if you agreed to date me, I'm afraid you don't know what love is." Fang Shiqian understood the key point and explained it to her with a little self-mockery.

"So, I think I should preserve my feelings of love and care for you. When you truly understand what love is, then you can choose whether to continue."
